I'm reasonably new to Cosplay. Haven't started, thought of or completed any costumes yet. Just wondering if there was any regular Brisbane meetups or Cosplay groups where everyone gets together and discusses ideas/techniques and just hangs out?

Hey
I recently moved to the Brisbane area also and I don't know of any regular meets up we just had the gold coast supanova which a lot of us went to and we will have brisbane supanova in november so will hopefully see you then. In the meantime feel free to PM. I'm sure people will post events as they happen

Yeah. I thought more just meeting up for the sake of meeting up. Sharing new stories and new secrets/hints. Outside of the convention atmosphere. I can only read so many websites before I lose my mind on tutorials haha.

There's sooo many meet-ups/photoshoots arranged on Facebook, it's difficult to keep up! The best place to keep an eye out for them is this group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/aucosplayers/
Once you're in that group, you'll get invited to all kinds of things! Hahaha, I never go to any, 'cause I'm just so antisocial! XD

My friend and I are going to Brisbane's Supanova, it's going to be our very first cosplay Well, if you don't count being random Zombie nurses for Zombie Walk last year (and this is my very first post here wooo)
We're going to be two Joy Angels from Bayonetta, we're going to start making our costumes soon, hopefully they turn out alright and on time :P

The group Melaine suggested is a good idea...they're ALWAYS having meets (I generally don't go cause I can't be bothered and don't find them particularly interesting, but they're a good way to make friends). There is also another group on facebook that has meets - queensland cosplay: http://www.facebook.com/groups/386849264694088/
